THIS IS NOT A US BASED COMPANY, SHIPPING COMES FROM CHINA. When you try to call the “California Office” with their CA phone number listed, it redirects to Hong Kong; credit card was also charged to a... See more

I’ve bought from Puffing Bird a few times before. Checkout was so much more difficult this time. Wouldn’t send to the correct address and take any card online. Had to end up sending elsewhere then it... See more

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The most important thing to note is that all orders come from Hong Kong. They use a dodgy looking tracking website and don’t give very ample communication during the order process which was horrendous... See more

First Purchase Didn’t End Up Well

I waited a week or two longer than it said it would be. No problem, but I also got the wrong downstem!!! I ordered the matrix but got the 4-part tree one. Also, the downstems were measured for the whole length, not from the base of the frosted part, which I thought was BS.

wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

absolutely trash company with trash customer service.
I ordered 3 14mm dab straw kits and received one totally different kit. I emailed with pictures to let them know what I got was the wrong thing and they completely blew me off, basically was like " here's the tracking link, have a good one". ive email 5 times telling them it wasn't what I ordered and would either like a refund or send me what I actually paid for and they have ignored me since.
this is a company that scams people clearly as most the reviews are terrible.

Won't reply to me

I ordered a pipe and it never arrived. I have contacted the company 6 times and they have never got back to me after weeks and don't list any phone number. I will report them as a scam company to the commerce commission and my bank and have the bank reverse my transaction. What a hassle.

Absolutely trash

Absolutely rubbish!!! Do not use ❌❌❌. This is not a New Zealand company as is advertised it is from China, takes ages to arrive and lead to believe it's from NZ - really pissed off, I get sick of this online scam BS. Will never use again. Still waiting for product by the way, no suprise there!

Still have not received the item

Still have not received the item, the tracking is useless and your company responds to my requests by providing a tracking link that has no information. Will never purchase from Puffing Bird again and can not recommend your company.

Lied to....

Lied about my items shipping after half my order was outta stock. When I asked again for the status of my order after 2wks my order still hadn't shipped and was cancelled instead of an update. Absolutely the worst service ever. Do not recommend!
